The Subscribers are requested to make up their Sets as soon as p,,ssible, the whole work being nearly completed, and many of the Parts are becoming scarce. We have perused with no ordinary feelings of gratification Mr. MoatEß's Second Journey to Persia. Since the publication of his former work (containing the F,mbassy of Sir liarford Jones) he has been placed in a situation of all others the most prOpiijous for collecting copious and aur tic information respecting the customs, manners, and traditions of an oriental people : (iring a residence of six years be must have found, in ful filling his official duties, ample opportunities for augmenting his stock of knowledge and expe rience. In referring to these advantages, we mean not to detract from the merit of the writer, but to appreciate the real vaLe of a work—to which a variety of local circumstances have con spired to give validity and importance, and which Amy justly be considered as a permanent acquisi tion to European Literature. The present volume has been composed from the author's private Journals, as might naturally be expected, is rich in • aneCiiiite and ,description, - find agreeably diversified by literary criticism, and philosophical elucidation.

It anpears that Lord NC : AMUHY w& in ot peen iiirr humour for speaking at the iintiping oti-i the Mullingar Assizes, and that amidst j-kes and puns beyond number, and allusions to local and foreign transactions, ancient and mod , . rn his - ory, he intioduccd in his address to the Grand Jury some severe anitnadversions on a speven delkered by Mr. STERILE 'IIGHE, at s be recent Election for Westmeath Tioo Gentleman, w. s, as he HIWPVS is, on the Grand Jury, and when th- Noble Judge had conclude(? ) he is reported to have said, than it was a ihvy he owed himself and it s uomitry to tell .the Noble Lord, that ttie mo'ives imputed to him front the Bench were ill founded ; it was a friend to the Constitution of his country and the rights of the people, in principle and in comittct. He knew his own privilege, and it was his duty to support the freedom of election " Lord NOR/SURY, ‘iVe are told, remarked in re ply, that " DU ma» bad a right to animadvert upon what fell from a Judge, sitting as a Represen tative of Majesty on the bench ot justice, and authorised by the King's Commission to charge the Grand Jury of the County. He knew his own dignity and high situation ; he Would support both, and would not permit any man to' act with indecorum or disrespect to him. Ile knew no thing of the person who had presumed to address him, he did not know that such a person was on the Grand Jury, but this he knew, that the Oen tleman arrogated too much consequence to him self." Mr. TIGHE, nevertheless, replied in spirited language. Lord NORBURY said," he would not be spoken to on the Bench ; the Gentleman might come to him at the Chambers." The dialogne here cutler!, and the Grand Jury retired. As Mr. TIGHE appears to have satisfied himself in Court, it is to be presumed that he de clined the invitation he got to visit the Noble Judge's Chambers.—(Freeman's Journal.) KENT ASSIZES. These Assizes finished on Saturday night. Ot 77 prisoners for trial, thirteen were capitally con victed, and received sentence of Death. William Hazleton, the supposed accomplice of Hussey in the murder of Mr. Bird and his house keeper, and who still remaioed in custody, was on Saturday put to the bar and formally arraigned. No witnesses appearing against him, he was dis charged by proclamation. Soon after the appre hension of Hussey, the Rev. Mr. At 4les, the Ordinary of the orison, apprized him of the fact; Hazleton appealed struck with surprise, and im mediately hroke forth into the following extraor dinary declaration :—" Hussey taken ! well, I am sorry, very sorry, that, he should be brought into .trouble;' but now O.:at lie is once taken, why it clears tue." Hazleton did not, see Hussey on Saturday, nor since his condemnation. denomination of the Persian Ambassador, was once familiar to this Metropolis ; and who, during one whole season, enjoyed the enviable distinction among the circles of fashion, and was even con sidered as an indispensable appendage.to an elegant party. Since that period, Princes, Dukes, Gene rals, and even Monarchs, have passed beforees, in such rapid succession, that the pretensions of all hut Royal Visitants must shrink into compa rative insignificance; but we remember when Merza shone in solitary pre•eminence an object of popular and universal attraction, when rival Belies contended for the exhibition of his majestic beard, and the repetition of his pithy broken English, well or ill understood, snpplied an inexhaustible fund of fashionable conversation. It is singular that Mr. Morier, who had conducted this great Personage to England, accompanied him in the king circuitous route by which he returned to Persia. " Among the few circumstances," says Mr. Monier, " which can now giVe novelty to a voyage to the East Indies; may be reckoned the company of a Persian Ambassador. and his suite ; and, therefore, though I did not .obtrude on- the Pnblic the details of my first voyage with English passengers, I should not be jusiiiieu in with holding all notice of our expedition, undertaken with - companions so different and so un crrmtnon." Merza embarked with Sir Gore the Briikh Amhas3ador to the Conn of Persia, in the Lion, that ship, consecrated to the interests A diplomacy; -ill 'which Lord had fociacciy f,erFonneti his ceivbrat - ell voyage to China. " A Persian," says Mr. " ss 1w had been feasted and exhibited in 1,:tolon for nine months, and had seen all its ob- !eels of curiosity, might almost have exclaimed, his return to Persia, in the words of his coon- trytnan in Nlontesgnicti, Jamais homme n' a taut cte vu que /110 i ; but a series of new and distinct adventures was still interposed between him and his home, and he was to complete his probation by passing seven months on the sea, an element to which he had all ,the antipathy or his na- ioth" Ti le de►ails of this voyage are highly curious and entertaining. At Bombay,Mirza received from his Sovereign a firmon, investing him with the !hie of Khan, which he regarded as an invalu ible testimony of his esteem and approbation. — A contest arose between Alirza and the Persian Governor on the point of etiquette, which was, however, conceded by the latter. "The In dians," observes Mr. Morier, " are more attached to shew and parade than the Persians, whose habits are more military." After visiting ,Elephanta, and many curious splits in the neighbourhood, the party re-em barked; proceeding by the tedious navigation of the Persian Golph ; towards Bushire, the charac teristic features of which are heat, dreariness, and solitude. The Persians have no navy. To Nadir shah alone belongs the honour of having con structed a man of war, the wreck of which is still to be seen in the harbour of Bushire. It may easily be conceived that the arrival of the Ninbassy excited a vivid sensation, 'but the circumstance of the Ambassador having brought with himhia Harem operated most powerfully on the public mind. " Although the Easterns," says Mr. Morier, " look upon it as indecorous to make inquiries about each others women, yet still we could observe how anxious they were' to know something about ours." In general they appear to have formed exaggerated ideas of European beauty. The Ambassador having introduced the Governor into the separate cabin of _his wife, where sat .another young lady, and two servant maids, lie asked whether all those were the Elchee's wives i—The reception of the Ambassa dor was grand, but his accommodation extended not to comfort. After a tedious process of cere mony, each found himself installed in ' a tent, pi!ched on a treeless desert of sand, with the sea on one side and mountains on the other. " It would, perhaps, be impossible to give to an inhabitant of London a correct idea of the first impressions made upon the European stranger on his landing in Persia. Accustomed,' as his, eye hail been, to neatness, cleanliness, and a general appearance of convenience in the exterior of life, he feels a depression of spirits in beholding the vet y contrary. Instead of houses with high roofs, well glazed and painted, and in neat rows, he finds them low, flit roofed, without Wind uws, placed in little connection. In vain he looks for what his idea of a street ruay be, he makes his way through the narrowest lanes, encumbered with filth, dead annuals, and mangey dogs. He hears a language totally new to hiM, spoken by people whose looks and dress are equally extra ordinary. Instead of our smooth chins and light dresses, he finds rough faces marked with beards and mnstachios in lung flapping eiotbso s He sees no active people walking about with an appearance of something to do, but here and there be meets a native lust crawling along in slipssimd shoes. When he seeks the markets and shops, a new and original scene opei!s upon him. Little open sheds in rows, between _which is a passage, Arvin; as a street, of about eight feet is Oreadth, , .are to be 4cen, instead-of our closely shut shops, with windows gaily decked. Here the vender sits sot rounded with his wares. In a country where there is so little ap parent security of property, it is surprising how a man so easily exposes his goods to the pilfer of rogues. Compari sons might be made without end, but however distressing ' the transition from great civilization to comparative bar barity may be, yet it is certain that first impressions soon wear off, and that the mind receives a new accession of feel ings, adapted precisely to the situation in which it is placed." After an interesting though fatiguing march the Embassy reached Shiraz, where they bad an. arrerahle specinken of Persian flattery. The Mel:. mangler *aid - to the Minister,lkow well thi'Elthsfes talks Persian. Admi,rably, retnyed the 'Minis" • ter : •he is superior to any Mollah: " On paying a visit to Mirza Abul Hassan Minn, we were' surprised to find his room darkened,, himself seated in a corner weeping aloud, and apparently in the greatest grief. The cause was easily to be guessed, 'for we had been inform ed, nearly on our first landing, that his only child, a son, of four years old, had died during his father's absence, of the small-pox ; and this circumstance, by order of the King, bad hitherto been kept from his knowledge. A young eunuch belonging to the Prince's mother, ignorant of the King's orders, had heedlessly mentioned it to him, and thus destroyed at once the hopes he bad so long cherished during his absence, of seeing what he held most dear to him. He felt his mis fortune the more, as his-wife was too old to encourage the hope of any inure offspring, and moreover, was so jealous as to oppose a second marriage. She is a lady of superior rank to himself, being the daughter of Hajee Ibrahim, the late Grand Vizier of Persia; and it is said, that if her husband in any manner ill-treated her, she Las such powerful relations that they would soon avenge her. How forcibly this illus trates what Laban said 'to Jsideb; bn giving him his datntli ters!—lf tkou shalt afflict my daughters, .;r if thou shalt take other 'wives besides my daughters, &c. &c. Gen. 3t. 5. 50. " - We frequently visited him during his grief, and'had an opportunity of hearing the sort of consolation which he re ceived from his own countrythen. The principal argument they'brought forward to assuage his grief was kery -remark able, inasmuch as it shows a great similarity of feeling be tween modern and ancient Persians on a similar subject. They said, ' If you had lost a brother, then, indeed, yon might cry, for you cannot raise your father and mother; from their graves to give you another; but why betssil a child, witerryou still eau bogie to ,:raVe assother?' *hin.Doritrat was surprised at the request of the, wife of 104phi:rues to have the life of her brother spared, rather that*_ that of any of her other relations, be asked her wl(y she preferred to pre serve her brother, instead of her hasban'd and children, who were certainly more nearly connected to her, she answered, '0 King ! if it please the Deitrl uiay have another husband ; and if deprived of these, may have other children ; but asany parents are both of them dead, it is certain I can have no other brother*."fhe Persians appeared to make use of this - phrase more as the common language of condolence, than as excited by the peculiar circumstances of the case, and there fore we may suppose it to be an idiom that has maintained it self in the country from the most ancient times It could evidently only have been used by natives, who, like the pre sent Persians, hare a plurality of wives; who, in consequence, have no strong conjugal ties, and who, having a large pro miscuous progeny, have feeble parental affections. Mahomed Zeky Khan, our Mehmander, in his attempt to console the Mirza, said, ' Why do you grieve for one child? I have lost more than one at a time,lsuni have never shed a tear.' * Ilerodatus, Thalia, 119. LT° be continued.] PARLIAMENTARY PAPERS.
